Skrtel's agent stirs up Napoli move talk

Last updated : 05 June 2013

With his Liverpool future in doubt following a disappointing season in which he lost his first team place to Jamie Carragher, the Slovakian defender is believed to be on his way out this summer.

Skrtel's former club Zenit St Petersberg were favourites to sign him but haven't made a move yet and no other enquiries have been made from elsewhere, so his agent Karol Csonto has decided to carefully stir up interest by creating a possible link with Napoli, now managed by former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez.

"It is too easy to say, but if there is contact from the Blues then we will begin to evaluate it," he said. "Napoli are a great club and Benitez is a great coach, but Skrtel is a Liverpool player and for this reason he is already looking to the next season with the Reds."
